Sorry... I've been busy.

Here's my latest hobby:This is from early March (about 8 weeks). (B thinks the little guy looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost).
And below, this is from the other day when we decided to start tracking the belly progress. I've grown about 5 inches this week, I swear. Now I'm at 16 weeks.
Glad that the 24-hour nausea is over, but now it's time for the random aches and pains as the baby slowly takes over my entire abdomen. We will have the BIG ultrasound soon, but we're still determining whether or not to find out the gender. Your suggestions (with practical reasons one way or the other) are welcomed.
Here are the answers to all the questions (good and stupid) that everyone asks:
1. Yes, we're excited. We were planning this for a long time.
2. No, we don't have any names picked out. Haven't even discussed it.
3. October 13
4. Don't care if it's a girl or a boy. Just want 10 fingers and 10 toes.
5. I got very nauseous but didn't puke (until a week ago).
6. No cravings. I just like yummy food. No weird food aversions, except in the first tri- when I didn't want to eat anything. Ever.
7. As of 2 minutes ago, I've only gained about 2 or 3 pounds so far. But I am definitely bigger (can't button the jeans anymore).
8. Yes, I'm taking time off of work - probably until the end of second semester.
9. Don't think the cats are excited to have a new brother/sister. But the husband is. He already bought baby a replica MLS soccer ball.
10. This is the first grandchild for all our parents, and they are completely thrilled.
